Looks to me like this exactly what Trump said it was, the "Anti-Benghazi". Want to start some shit at a US embassy? Then expect gunships full of Marines to be landing in there and taking care of business.

Now the deep state re-thought their position, and decided to get their main handlers out of there. But surprise, caught at the airport with their pants down, and [187]'d.

According to Amir Tsarfati's tweet, this was a gunship attack rather than a drone attack. Not that the result matters more or less, but to me it means real forces were actively engaged, not just some VR warriors sitting in Colorado somewhere.
